Cheers Simone. I'll contact Showrav. I have Ruta Grav tincture. Was never sure how to take it. It tastes awful! Is that what you're suggesting? :)

No,
he prescribes Homeopathic Ruta Grav
10M- 2 drops in quarter cup of water
for 7 nights.
Sounds like you may have a mother tincture.

Dr.showrav,
This patient started out with ligaments pulled, then sciatica. But later
describes things clicking and slipping in her back, which sounds like
a disc problem.actually she stated L-5 diagnosis-early on this thread, which is why I
was talking about Ruta Grav.
So I have seen you prescribe Ruta Grav with patients who had sciatic type
pain who had a disc injury.
Anyway this patient has had-
Arnica 30, Rhus Tox 30, Aesculus, Hypericum and Lyco.
Was also suggested she try Bell, Puls, Causticum one after to the other ( but I
don't think she did that one)
Did you prescribe for her? Would be interesting to know what you think.

I think she should have a X-ra or a MRI of the spine to get sure exactly what is her problem. This type of pain may have many types of causes internally. So need exactly to know why she is suffering for a long time?

Hi Simone,
apologies. I completely forgot about the questionnaire. I'll do that on Monday for certain.
Got very stiff back and struggle to walk straight after I arise from sitting. Also got tight glutes and the area feels lumpy and like there are long elastic strands in it.

Hi Simone, I have answered the questionnaire:
1. Describe your main suffering?
Lower back pain, sciatica
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
knee pain, IBS
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
Not sure what this means. I do not have any mental sufferings due to my back pain. When Ive been in extreme pain, then I expect family to show some support.
4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?
The pain when it was at its worst was unbearable. The pain occurred from my back to the bottom of my leg. I had severe pins and needles. Was unable to sit or stand stationary in one place. Was unable to lie down and was on codeine and anti-depressants to help me sleep.
5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
Started in January with pins and needles down the back of my right leg and then it got very severe and became full blown in March. An MRI scan showed an L5/S1 bulging disc and facet joint hypertrophy.
6. Which time of the day you are worst?
It was worst during the morning on waking up.
7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?
Sitting and lying down. Better on walking or running and working on trigger points in the hip flexors and glutes.
8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?
Have had lower back pain since before my delivery which was 9 years ago. The dull pain became worse after I had a fall during ice skating where I landed on my bottom. The impact severely shook my spine and the back pain deteriorated ever since.
9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
I cannot stand very hot weather and find it difficult to sleep when its too warm. Humidity and wet and cold weather dont seem to do my joints any good.
10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.
Im generally very easy going but can get easily offended. My moods change if people around me are moody. I do not like noisy environments and am short with children who make too much of noise. I am quite active and do (did) a lot of running but also like to relax and have some peace and quiet. Im outgoing and an extrovert. I can get suspicious but obviously depending on the situation.
- How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm?
Havent experienced a thunderstorm in many many years here in the UK!
- Do you like being consoled during your tough times?
- Are you sensitive to external stimuli like smell, noise, light etc?
Am very sensitive to noise. A very light sleeper. Had insomnia for around 15 years but this has improved by taking Arnica 30 in succussed form 3 x a day.
I do not like very strong smells.
Am mentally very strong and usually like to sort my own problems out.
- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless
weeping, talking to one self etc?
No
- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife?
Am very family oriented. Although I like meeting friends and going out, my first priority is my family and my husband. I strongly believe in trying to keep my marital relationship alive and healthy.
11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?
I sometimes dream of running a race and not being able to move my legs or of being chased or attacked and me not being able to fight back with my limbs not responding to my mind telling them to fight back.
12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions?
Not a very big fan of sweets. I like savoury food.
13. How is your thirst: Less, Normal or Excessive?
Thirst is normal. I drink quite a lot of water during the day.
14. How if your hunger: Less, Normal or Excessive?
Normal
15. Is there any kind of food which your body cant stand?
Red meat doesnt agree with my stomach. Specially lamb.
16. Is your sweat normal or less or more? Where does it sweat more: Head, Trunk or Limbs?
Normal
17. How is your bowel movement and stool type?
I go 2-3 times a day. Very soft and scanty stools with lots of wind.
18. How well do you sleep? Do you have a particular posture of sleeping?
Im sleeping better now. I sleep mostly on my side due to my back pain with a cushion in between my legs.
19. Do you think you are able to satisfy your sexual desires in general?
Yes
20. How do you think you are different from others, if at all?
I think Im quite a well-rounded person. I care deeply about people and things that affect them. I like to do things for others and help change things for the better.
21. What medications have been taken earlier by you to treat the diseases and do you have any particular symptom surfacing after the medication?
Before the arnica started to help my insomnia, I tried taking The Pill (for birth control) to help my hormonal imbalance. As I used to stop sleeping around my period a midwife suggested I try taking the Pill. This helped for a while but when it stopped working, I tried another brand of the Pill. This caused numbness in my hands and my hands are cold most of the time. I have cold extremities anyway and this causes a lot of problems in winter. My hands look white and swell after a long running session of around 10 miles.
22. What major diseases are running in your family?
My mother has Diabetes and arthritis
23. Describe, how do you look like? Describe your overall appearance
Im of a slim build, curly below shoulder length hair and have a toned body.

Take 5-7 days at least of Nux vom 200c one dose at night and Sulpher 200c one dose at morning with an empty stomach. Starve at least 30 min after taking the medicine each time. Report me after the medication of 5th day.

Hi Dr Showrav,
I have Sulphur 200C and Nux Vom 30C at home. I do have Nux Vom 200 but in pill form that I got from India some time back and am not sure if it's still any good. The Nux 30 was purchased from Helios. Just wondering if I can take the Nux 30c instead? If not, I'll order Nux 200 from Helios today.
many thanks

Hi Dr Showrav,
I've been taking the medicine as prescribed but I can't say I feel any relief. I've developed severe heartburn though. Feel like there is acid right up to my throat. I'm due for the cortisone injection tomorrow.

Nux and Sulpher was prescribet to u primarily to nutralize ur body and make it ready to except homeopathic medicine. So from now on u will start taking pain relief and problem healing medicines. But u must have to avoid allopathic medicines and injections which will create problem with homeopathic medicine at healing strategy.
Stop all medicines from previous schedule.
Start with:
A. Ruta 200c 3 drops every day at night before sleep.
B. Acid Fluor 30c 3 drops every day at morning and evening 30 min before meal.
C. Carbo Veg 30c 2 drops at every morning and night 15-20 min after meal.
Do not go to sleep at once after a meal. Take at least 3 hours gap between supper and going to bed at night. Use Lumber supporting belt if necessary.

Hi Dr Showrav,
Am traveling but have my homeopathic kit with me. I have Ruta 10M, Fluoric Acid 6C and Carbo Veg 200. I'm unable to order medicine as I'm traveling. Will any of the above do or should I wait a couple of weeks before I get back from holiday?
I forgot to mention in my history that I've been gradually losing hair since the last 10 years.
